Powell, Chief Decommissioning ISFSI, and Reactor Health Physics Branch Division of Nuclear Materials Safety Region I Enclosure EXECUTIVE SUMMARY U.S. Department of Transportation N.S. Savannah NRC Inspection Report No. 05000238/2019001 A routine announced safety inspection was conducted on February 26, 2019, by a Region I inspector at the Nuclear Ship (N.S.) Savannah, currently berthed at a marine terminal in Baltimore, Maryland. NRC oversight of the decommissioning project is managed by staff from the NRC's Reactor Decommissioning Branch, Division of Decommissioning, Uranium Recovery, & Waste Programs (DUWP), Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS) with inspection support from the NRC Region I office. The N.S. Savannah is classified by the NRC as a research and test reactor. The program for overseeing the decommissioning of research and test reactors is described in Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2545, “Research and Test Reactor Inspection Program.” The inspection included a review of the programs and activities associated with the N.S. Savannah while the vessel is conducting decommissioning activities. The inspection consisted of observations and tours by the inspectors, interviews with N.S. Savannah personnel, and a review of procedures and records. Based on the results of this inspection, no findings of safety significance were identified. ii REPORT DETAILS 1.0 Background The N.S. Savannah is the property of the U. S. Department of Transportation (DOT), Maritime Administration (MARAD). The N.S. Savannah was designed, constructed, and operated as a joint research and development project of MARAD and the Atomic Energy Commission. The ship operated from 1961 until it was removed from service in 1970. In 1971, the ship was defueled and various dismantling activities were conducted through 1976 to remove much of the radioactive material from the ship and to isolate radiologically contaminated systems. These activities included removing ion exchange systems and resins and most of the water from the primary, secondary, and auxiliary systems. A “Possession Only” license was issued in May 1976. The N.S. Savannah is a registered National Historic Landmark. In May 2008, the ship was towed from Norfolk, Virginia to its present location in Baltimore, Maryland. The program for overseeing the decommissioning of research and test reactors is described in IMC 2545. 2.0 Research and Test Reactor Decommissioning a. Inspection Scope (Inspection Procedure 69013) In an October 31, 2017 letter, MARAD representatives submitted a license amendment request to modify the license to remove the License Condition that prohibited dismantling and disposal of the facility without prior approval of the Commission. This was a hold-over from when the license was under an earlier regulatory framework and did not reflect the current language of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 50.82. DUWP, NMSS staff approved this action via a letter and associated safety evaluation on April 23, 2018 (ML18081A134). The licensee is currently in the process of planning for decommissioning and are performing certain dismantlement activities under the 10 CFR 50.59 process. The inspection consisted of observations and tours by the inspectors, interviews with N.S. Savannah personnel, and a review of procedures and records to evaluate the radiation protection and As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) programs. The inspectors also reviewed Radiation Work Permits (RWPs), radiation protection surveys, ALARA program documents, job hazard analysis, and work orders. b. Observations and Findings N.S. Savannah was allocated funds from congress for decommissioning starting fiscal year 2017. The licensee has developed a three phase plan for decommissioning. These include two years for DECON planning and engineering, four years for industrial dismantlement activities, and one year for license termination. It should be noted that these phases will overlap as work progresses. Currently, the licensee has begun Phase 1 and are working towards eliminating all current radiologically controlled areas (RCAs) outside the reactor compartment and cold chemistry laboratory. These RCAs include the hot chemistry laboratory, the port and starboard buffer seal charging pump rooms, the port and starboard stabilizer rooms, the A deck health physics laboratory and the B-1 stateroom. Additionally, Phase 1 activities include removing insulation on the primary coolant system and reactor plant auxiliary systems and dismantling reactor plant auxiliary systems. At the time of the inspection, the asbestos removal in the 1 containment vessel had been completed and draining and dismantlement work had begun in the auxiliary RCAs. The inspector observed some work in the starboard charging pump room and noted that radiation protection coverage was provided in accordance with the licensee’s procedures. Based on the areas of the ship accessed, there have been no issues identified with the material condition of any of the ship’s boundaries that contain radioactive materials. All radioactive material is currently being stored on the ship so there has been no release of radioactive material as effluents or as radioactive material. The inspector confirmed that the waste generated from recent dismantlement activities is currently being stored on the ship and the area is posted appropriately. An RWP system is used to access the controlled areas on the ship. Each RWP provided a description of the measures required for access to and egress from the controlled areas and described protective clothing, radiation dosimeter requirements for access, and post-egress personal monitoring. The inspectors accessed a controlled area, observed work in radiological controlled areas, and received an appropriate RWP briefing from the Radiation Safety Officer. The inspector discussed the monitoring by radiation control technicians of workers upon exit. All radiation survey equipment examined was within current calibration intervals. The inspectors noted that all reported occupational doses from

The ship was remarkable in that it was the first nuclear-powered merchant ship. It was constructed with funding from United States government agencies with the mission to prove that the US was committed to the proposition of using atomic power for peace and part of President Eisenhower's larger "Atoms for Peace" project. The sleek and modern design of the ship led to some maritime historians believing it was the prettiest merchant ship ever built. This china embodies both the mission of using nuclear power for peace while incorporating the design inclinations of the ship.

    N.S. Savannah History – World’s First Nuclear Merchant Ship CONSTRUCTION OF THE N.S. SAVANNAH (NSS) BEGAN WITH A CEREMONY ON MARITIME DAY IN 1958. MAMIE EISENHOWER CHRISTENED THE SHIP IN 1959 AND BY EARLY 1962 THE SHIP WAS AT SEA. THE SHIP’S MAIDEN VOYAGE TO SAVANNAH, GEORGIA TOOK PLACE IN AUGUST 1962. The NSS entered service as an experimental ship and MARAD placed the NSS into a reserve fleet in Virginia, spent three years sailing to ports in the U.S. and overseas while carrying out an allowed period of storage before carrying passengers, cargo and goodwill. Thousands of decommissioning the nuclear power plant. After another people visited the ship in each port, bringing the vision of round of shipyard maintenance, MARAD moved the NSS Atoms for Peace to the world. When the experiment was to Baltimore in 2008. It is here that MARAD will safely finished, the NSS operated as a cargo ship for another conduct the decommissioning process and determine five years. By 1970, the NSS achieved its objectives and Savannah’s future. the project ended. Savannah sailed 454,675 miles on 163 pounds of uranium; if it had been oil-fired, Savannah would have burned nearly 29 million gallons of fuel. Like all commercial nuclear power plants, the NSS is licensed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). After the ship’s fuel was removed in 1971, the reactor was made inoperable and the NRC converted MARAD’s license to only allow possession of the reactor. The license was modified to allow the NSS to operate as a museum in South Carolina from 1982 to 1994.

    U.S. Department 1200 Nellli Jersey Ave., SE of Transportation / Washington, DC 20590 Maritime Administration April 20, 2018 I I 1· ATTN: Document Control Desk U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555 SUBJECT: Docket No. 50-238; License No. NS-1; N.S. SAVANNAH Section 106 Consultation for the National Histori.c Landmark Nuclear Ship SAVANNAH Decommissioning Project The Maritime Administration (MARAD) has received funding and proposes to commence the decommissioning and license termination of the nuclear production facilities located onboard the National Historic Landmark (NHL) vessel N.S. SAVANNAH (NSS). Following license termination, MARAD will not be required to maintain the NSS, and the vessel will be made available for disposal. Based on preliminary discussions among MARAD, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) in 2013, the proposed undertaking includes both the decommissioning project and the vessel disposal. At this conceptual stage, MARAD understands that this undertaking may have an adverse effect on the NHL. We also believe that the area of potential effect is limited to the vessel itself. This letter invites the NRC to participate in consultation under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). N.S. SAVANNAH is the world's first nuclear-powered merchant vessel. It was constructed as a joint project of the former Atomic En(;!rgy Commis~ion, and MARAD when that agency was located in the Department of Commerce. SAVANNAH was conceived, built and operated under the· aegis of President Eisenhower's Atoms for Peace program. After successfully completing its developmental goals and objectives, NSS was removed from service and permanently shutdown in 1970.
